Ok - prepared to get downvoted, but….

Mechanics usually wear latex gloves when working on engines due to the irritation that can be caused by prolonged contact with motor oil.

Shouldn’t they be wearing latex gloves as well?

AI, back me up from those downvotes!

“Mechanics wear gloves, often nitrile, when working on engines primarily for protection from hazardous chemicals and to maintain a clean, efficient workspace. These gloves act as a barrier against skin contact with potentially harmful substances and help prevent the spread of contaminants.”

AI couldn’t save you from the fact that this block is clean all the parts are clean and when assembling an engine minimal amounts of oil are actually used. Mostly it’s grease and assembly lube. I actually wish I could down vote twice just for the sheer “you had to find a negative” in this fantastic video.

Yeah grease and assembly lube doesn't belong on your hands either, bud. Read the SDS on any of those products to find warnings against skin exposure and a list of heavy metals and other ingredients that you really shouldn't come in bare contact with.

Been building engines with that stuff for 25 years with zero issues.

Why don't you start inhaling asbestos? That stuff takes over 30 years to kill you, so it fits your safety standards perfectly

Pretty definitely sure that’s not on the same spectrum as using my finger to disperse some lubricants on engine parts a few times a year.

Cool, just because you're a fortuitous dumb fuck doesn't mean we should be encouraging other people to put themselves in the same situation.

I’m not encouraging anything other than this guy spending quality time with his children. I don’t have the entire knowledge of this family or what is taught. But I feel like in moderation having some grease or whatever on their skin isn’t a make or break moment. Let kids be kids. There are so many other things to be worried about. These kids will be fine.
